Question About Asuma (SPOILER WARNING)

[PhageTheFallen]

Hello everyone. I was reading on Wikipedia about Naruto II. While I was reading over the summaries, I came across Asuma talking about the Third Hokage. He said that he was proud to be a member of the Sarutobi clan and that The Third was a great father. If I am taking this in right, does this mean that Asuma is the son of the Third Hokage and that Konohamaru is the son of Asuma? If I am right, who is Konohamaru's mother? Kurenai? Maybe I'm completely wrong or something.

Thank you to anyone who can help.

It means Asuma is either Konohamaru's father or uncle. Which title he has exactly is open to speculation. But, given the small age difference between the two, it's unlikely that Konohamaru is Asuma's son.

[PhageTheFallen]

But is Asuma the son of the Third Hokage?

[torchamp]

YES! you are correct. watch the ******* episodes. noob. jaekae, but seriously you were right when you assumed that.

naruto 2 hasn't been animated yet, he couldn't of seen the episode as it doesn't exist. You come off looking like a noob. Get out of the thread, even if you are joking.

[Akatsuki]

Really? They are father to son? Then Asuma must be really mad at Orichimaru killed his dad. I mean, wouldn't you be mad if this random guy came out and killed your dad? And Asuma didn't look like he was very crushed. Naruto was even more crushed that Sasuke ran away. Does that mean Naruto cares more for Sasuke than Asuma cares for Sarutobi?

[PhageTheFallen]

Well, the relationship between Sasuke and Naruto is one of the main parts of the story. I'm sure Asuma and Naruto were very sad about the Third Hokage's death, but the anime did not go into depth about it because they wanted to focus on the other things happening at that time (Akatsuki - Uchiha Itachi).

Yes, Asuma is the 3rd's son. Konohamaru I believe is Asuma's nephew. I know Asuma being the 3rd's son is true, but I'm unclear on the relationship between Konohamaru and Asuma. I'm pretty sure he's Konohamaru's uncle.

[ZanarkandAce]

Uncle seems to be the best idea at the moment. And someone said: "But, given the small age difference between the two" I think that there's quite the age gap. But, from the unreliable source, Wikipedia, we also take this:

Due to the fact that the age difference between them is only about 18 years, the former scenario is unlikely, though not impossible.

18 is old enough to have a kid. Look at some teenagers now...

It's possible, but I don't think that Asuma is Konohamaru's father. Also, on the idea that he wasn't crushed with Orochimaru killed his dad. We saw that really come out later. But he was detached from his family for a while, so he could have some bad blood there, that, and he knew that his father had given his life protecting the whole village. There's a bit to be proud in that. He probably looked at it that way.

Also note that, under the whole "Daddy Asuma" theory, who was Mom? Asuma doesn't seem to be married (either that, or his wife is realllly laid back).

Asuma and the Third... we got hints, little more. We can speculate that Asuma might've walked different paths than his father, since their relationship is rarely openly mentioned and his attitude toward the Third felt rather... formal? I'm not sure if that's the word. Also, look at their fighting styles: unlike the Third, Asuma seems to focus heavily on Taijutsu (chakra-enhanced trench knives) (is that the category for a weapon specialty?).

[Snapper]

But, from the unreliable source, Wikipedia, we also take this:
In this case, as is the case with almost everything about the Wikipedia Naruto articles, Wikipeida is correct. According to the Second Data Book, at the end of Part II, Konohamaru is 9 and Asuma is 28. That's a difference in age of 19 years, which is "about 18".


*Wonders if anyone here knows what the Second Data Book is...*

[ZanarkandAce]

Ahh, but as a whole, Wikipedia is unreliable. But I took it as truth, if you noted.

Well, I'm just pointing out that that the Naruto articles are reliable.

Asuma probably had a falling out with his family? So he didn't feel as bad when the Third died, but he still probably felt bad.

Anybody notice that the Third and Asuma are usually/always smoking.

I think the Third could've been strong enough to defeat Orochimaru with the sealing jutsu if it wasn't for all those damn pipes he smoked. >_>

That, or the Old Age, the Bunshins, and the beatings from the fights with the First and the Second.....

Lmao! I'm just kidding... I know that you were joking.

Actually, I was serious. The Hokage's lack of strength due to his age was the main reason he lost. Not smoking probably would have made him a lot stronger.

I guess he loves smoking more than the sake of his village. Lol.

In the latest chapter it has been revealed that Asuma is Konohamaru's uncle.

NO need to bump a thread of 3 months old just to say something we ALL
know, just look at the official manga discussion thread.
